(Philadelphia to get Apple retail store)

We have two other stores in the burbs (Ardmore and King of Prussia), about 25 minutes away, but I've always wondered why there wasn't one in downtown Philly.

Also one in Medford right cross the river. Maybe there were too many stores too near each other?

16th and Walnut probably would have seen a lot of banks over the years.

By george, you've got it. Assuming Google is correct, it was most recently a TD Bank.

Once it's finished, I know where my sister and I are going when I visit her.
